My grandmother once told me a story

A story about a boy

A boy so beautiful, he left them all mesmerized

When he walked, every head turned

When he played his flute, every heart raced

When he smiled, every eye lit

When he danced, the gods bowed their heads

When he laughed every ear felt blessed

With their butter, he stole their hearts

And Oh! He had a peacock feather

That Radha had so lovingly placed on his head

Krishna was his name

Kanha is what I called him.

Oh kanha, can I put the peacock feather on your head?
